Working With Me
It’s important that we feel we’re a good fit, so if you’re interested in working together, let’s have an informal chat before booking an appointment.
I offer a free 25-minute conversation by phone or Zoom, so I can find out a bit about you, what you want from therapy and answer any questions you have. From there, we can arrange a first appointment.
If we work together, my first priority will be to create a safe and trusting relationship. So, I usually spend the first couple of sessions finding out more about you and what’s brought you to therapy. We’ll agree what you want to get out of therapy, and that will set the direction for our sessions.
A session will often start with talking about something that’s current for you – whether it happened recently or in the past – as well as your feelings and thoughts about it. As we talk, I’ll also ask you to notice what’s happening in your body; it holds feelings and memories, so it can be an important source of information for us.
By exploring together and making links between past and present, we can create a different understanding of your life and open possibilities for change.
